Sandlin has gotten into just two Cactus League games this spring due to his elbow issue. However, if healthy, the 29-year-old should be a key bullpen option for the Angels this season, considering his career 3.19 ERA across 228 appearances between the Guardians and Blue Jays.

Sandlin appears on track to begin the season on time, which would be welcomed for the Angels with right-hander Robert Stephenson suffering a setback on his way back from a shoulder injury. Sandlin posted a 2.20 ERA in 19 games with the Blue Jays last season and owns a career 3.19 ERA across 228 major league appearances.

Sandlin (elbow) underwent an arthroscopic elbow procedure during the fall. He threw a live batting practice session on Saturday, marking his first time facing live batters this spring as he continues his recovery.

The timeline for his Cactus League debut remains undetermined. Saturday's session represented significant progress in his throwing program following the fall procedure.
